Abstract

Indonesia boasts the world’s largest Muslim population. As such, it has formulated standardised instruments to detect religious radicalism in schools and working spaces. This article reviews Islamic radicalism and its historical roots, and aims to provide an understanding of Islamic radicalism in Indonesia and its development. The review discusses the differences between the closely related concepts of Islamic radicalism and extremism, and their indicators. In terms of the development of religious radicalism in the country, there is a large number of organisations and sub-groups related to religious radicalism in Indonesia that have evolved as a reaction to colonialism and political turbulence.
